Default invidia midpipe not loud?

Hey guys so i recently got the invidia midpipe matched with a joeZ axleback. When i had it installed, i was expecting it to be A LOT louder than what I'm hearing.
I heard the full cat back Ark exhaust, and was expecting something around that ballpark but only getting like 50% of the sound the Ark made...
So my question is, is the invidia + JoeZ not that loud? Could a mistake in installation be the reason why its not as loud? Is the Ark exhaust just THAT much louder than the invidia + JoeZ?

I'm not sure if I would say the ARK is TWICE as loud, but yes, it is significantly louder.
I don't believe there could've been an error in the installation, as the only thing that can really go wrong is an exhaust leak and that would make the car sound like a loud Harley. I'm not sure about you, but I prefer the note and sound level of your combination over the ARK... In my opinion, with any really loud exhaust, you'll be over it after a week and then it'll just be annoying when you're cruising. Good luck!

I don't think its the midpipe cause I have the joez exhaust axle back with tsudo midpipe and is not as loud as I thought it was going to be I might sell my set up and get a custom set up made with hks muffler
